If you've ever actually worked for a major corporation, you know that's closer to the mark than the Econ 101 stuff people take as gospel. Almost as important as darts, of course, are the egos of c-level execs. If Ludvig Bigshot decided 16 bucks was the price to go with, it might be a long time before he admits this was a mistake or anyone dares tell him.
Not my 16 bucks, either.
If Ludvig owns the outift, or has the board's ear, he gets to name a price. But if too many of his prices are wrong, either he gets canned, or docked, or the firm goes under. But yes, many Ludvig's make many miscalculated decisions for decades ongoing with no accountability, not even by the accountant. Never underestimate the prevalence of damn foolishness, this is true. The dartboard would probably make better choices sometimes, if only we could get Ludvig off this swivel chair to shoot a few darts.
I know someone who has smoked 3 Nuns exclusively for the last 40+ years. He knows it's not even remotely the same blend as it once was, and that there are other fine VA-Per blends that are much closer to the taste of the original 3 Nuns, and cheaper than the current one. Still he continues to smoke it exclusively. With that kind of blind, irrational loyalty, it doesn't surprise me they price gouge.
They ain't gonna get my sixteen dollars either,
the bastards!
I think the price point is ridiculous, absurd, and infuriating.
An even worse offender is Salty Dogs,
wuddup wi dat?
:evil:

I'm counting on beastinview to whip up a decent substitute, and then we can trade for it, and avoid the whole "system" altogether.

I was going to ask this exact question! When i saw it, i couldn't remember when I posted it.
In any case, the answers here are as I suspected.
Sydney Frank, who invented Grey Goose vodka, was asked what is the difference between premium and ultra premium vodka? His answer was: you can make $10 extra per bottle. He eventually sold Grey Goose to Seagrams for $2B.
